Where To Buy Beard Oil And Beard Balm From. Tips And Tricks To Help You Make The Right Choice

It’s no secret that men shop differently. There’s no going out with friends, looking at things, experiencing the shop and hunting for the perfect item.

No. Men are on a hunt.

We love to know what we want and focus on it till we get it, preferably at the best price possible.

The perfect way to shop for a man is to know what he wants, go out and get it.

All the details of the item and all the advantages we need are clearly listed in our head and if we can check all the boxes on that list, we know we’ve found what we need.

You’d rather be at home watching TV in your spare time than having to lurk around a store finding the perfect fabric.

It’s in an out as quick as possible with minimal fuss.

And that’s where online shopping has helped us more than ever.

It’s not just men who benefit from shopping online, of course. E-commerce has swiftly changed the very nature of business and the way we live our lives. Easier and better shopping was just one of the side effects of this colossal revolution.

And here we are now.

Everything you could possibly imagine is just a click away.

People have even started buying from the other side of the planet. Things are cheaper in some parts of the world, and shipping costs are barely a problem.

The global economy has been propelled into the twenty-first century on the back of this technical marvel.

Online shopping may be the best thing to happen to retail shoppers and business owners in a long time, but it isn’t perfect.

Shipping could take forever.

Last minute shopping is nearly impossible, especially if there’s snow outside or it’s a major festival like Christmas.

Things don’t get delivered on time and sometimes they’re damaged in transit. Sometimes you want to return them and need to go through the whole process in reverse.

One of the biggest issues with online shopping is the fact that you simply can’t feel and touch the items.

You can’t try on that pair of sneakers or that t-shirt and see if it is the right size. Measurements and the information from the manufacturer are helpful, but not always.

So why would you buy beard oil or any beard care product online?

I believe there are two types of things people can buy online – Variable items, that differ from company to company, or standardized products, where all you need are some vital stats to make your decision.

A dress needs to be tried on since every label has a different way of sizing them, that’s in the first category. A TV, on the other hand, can be bought as long as you know the brand and the size, that’s it. That puts the TV in the latter category.

So, to recap, why should you buy beard oil online?

Because it falls into the second category – the one where information is most important.

You need to know where the oil comes from, whether the brand that makes it is trustworthy or if the oil is completely organic. Beyond that, you just need to know if it works, and for that some online research is all you need.

Comparing the above oils, we understand already why one could be WAY MORE expensive than the other.

Unfortunately, this is something that the end consumer will never know.

At first glance, you understand that there’s simply no reason why one oil is more expensive than the other.

So how do you know if you’ve being “tricked”?

You don’t…

The lesson here is that many beard oils might look the same on the ingredients list but you’ll never know the actual mix. My personal recommendation is to go ahead with the company you trust the most and trial and error.

Price

The price is determined by a few factors, one of which we already discussed on the previous section. And that is:

Ingredients

Besides the carrier oils a beard oil contains, another thing that may affect the price is the essential oils blend. This heavily depends on the uniqueness, scarcity and costs.

The rest of the things that determine the cost of beard oil can be the following:

Brand

Traditionally expensive brands might charge a premium because of the high quality product, their market share and due to the fact that they are already established on the market.

Even though I would recommend supporting the smaller producers, bigger brands offer -besides quality, availability and broad product selection.

Shipping costs

One thing to keep in mind when ordering online are the shipping costs.

Many companies either offer free delivery at any item while others, offer free transportation over a certain order value.

Nevertheless, make sure that wherever you buy beard oil or beard balm from, you don’t pay more for delivery costs than the actual value of the product.

Where to buy beard oil from?

Here is a list of the best online shops that can help you buy the beard oil or beard balm that you need. I’m pretty sure that I missed quite a lot of shops, so feel free to contact me so that I can include it in the article.

The story of how Eric Bandholz started Bearbrand is inspirational not just for men who want to grow beards, but also for those who want to start businesses.

He started selling beard oils in 2012 with only $30 invested and now has over $800K in annual revenues.

His beard oil line is 60% of the business and his margins are an astonishing 80%. He even appeared on the Shark Tank show on CBS. The sharks didn’t bite, but Eric kept expanding his product range and now has a superb lineup of beard grooming products sold in retail store and online.

Besides offering a great beard oil selection of five different products, Bearded Crew is one of the few companies that offer a sample pack at a low price. This way, you can test the oils and see what you like with minimum risk.

The prices range between $15 and $25 with diverse scents so that you can easily find what suits you best.

The only company on the list that is not based in the United States. Better beard Co. is actually Canadian, but they ship everywhere so it’s worth checking out their line of beard oil, brushes, soaps, balms, and kits.

In fact, there’s a chance you might even find something cheaper than you would this side of the border.

All their products are made in Texas, which isn’t impressive by itself, but when you realize the sheer number of products they sell, you start to appreciate the work that goes into selling stuff online.
